Islamabad: A Pakistani anti-terrorism court holding the trial of seven accused in the Mumbai terror attack case on Wednesday adjourned the hearing till October 21.

A court official told PTI that an official witness recorded his statement in the anti-terrorism court. He said the court issued summons to two more witnesses for the October 21 hearing.

In the hearing on Wednesday, a Federal Investigation Agency senior officer told the court about the articles he recovered from two camps of banned Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT in Sindh.

FIA Deputy Director (Karachi) Fakir Hussain, a prosecution witness, told the court about the information he gathered about two to three accused who were monitoring the operation in Mumbai from here (Sindh).

He also provided the detail of the articles he collected from two camps of LeT in Mirpurkhas and Thatha.

Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and six other accused are facing trial for planning and executing the attack on November 26, 2008 that left 166 people dead.

Lakhvi, 55, secured bail last December and was subsequently released from the Adiala Jail on April 10 after the Lahore High Court set aside the government's order to detain him under a public security act.

He is currently out on bail and living at an undisclosed location.
